Apartment Matedo - Casa Matedo

Appartamento vivamente consigliato. Ristrutturato, molto pulito e dotato di ogni comfort. Situato in una posizione strategica, a 5 minuti dalla stazione e vicino al centro storico. Inoltre abbiamo trovato i proprietari veramente gentili e disponibili. E che dire, Monopoli merita di essere vista!

The apartment was very nice and clean, and the location is excellent—very central and convenient. Our host, Vito, was kind and helpful. We had a minor issue with the boiler, but he responded quickly and resolved it without delay.

There were a few things which i have to mention for people who are willing to rent the apartment for longer period.. The kitchen was generally well equipped, but there were a few things missing or needing improvement. There was no proper kitchen knife for cutting bread, which was a bit of an issue for us since we had to prepare breakfasts for the kids every day. Also, the frying pans and pots were quite worn out, with scratched non-stick surfaces that should be replaced. The elevator in the building had been out of order for months before our arrival, with clear signs stating it must not be used. Unfortunately, the hosts never informed us about this in advance. Had we known, we would have likely canceled the booking. This was a major issue for us, as we were traveling with two small children—one of them just 18 months old and unable to climb stairs. Every day, we had to carry both children and their strollers up and down multiple steep staircases, which was very exhausting. Additionally, the air conditioning unit drained into large plastic bottles that had to be emptied every 12 hours. Each bottle weighed over 15 kg, which was very inconvenient. Lastly, the children’s bedroom didn’t have its own exterior windows—only interior ones that opened onto an enclosed terrace, which limited fresh air. We had to keep the door to the living room open at all times for ventilation.

Great location about 5 mns from TrenItalia Monopoli station. 2 mns from Piazza Antonio ( COTRAP bus to Alberobello-Trully houses!). Supermarket near by 3 blocks away, a lot of places to eat and places to buy bathroom personal items and so on. Great owner and very responsive even on WhatsApp if Booking.com system fails for messaging. Thank you, Vito, so much, we enjoyed our stay and hope to come back in the future .

For long stays .my case 1 week, maybe better to have larger trash bags since there is separation of platics/ glass/ aluminum, paper etc. Otherwise, we were really satisfied and enjoyed our stay.

The apartment is tastefully furnished, bright, and spacious. Everything inside is new. You can easily reach the train station and the city centre by feet (around 5 minutes). I was happy to find a chess game and cards.

Check-in time started at 13:00 on booking, but we've been let getting in just at 14:30. There were no spatulas nor wooden spoons in the kitchen and no toilet brush. But we were advised we were the first guests, so I'm sure they will provide the missing stuff.
